Sophie (2022, 14 minutes)

This short film introduces philosopher Sophie Olúwọlé: she uncovered a 'pagan' god to be a philosopher and compared him to Socrates. All the while proving: African philosophy exists. Nominated for the Lions Film Award 2022, and screened at the Lagos Book & Art Festival 2022. Mostly based on recordings when I first met her in Amsterdam, 2017 - as well as some footage recorded during a roadtrip through Yorùbáland with her later that same year.

Portrait of a performance: Jelili Atiku (2021, 4 minutes)

A short documentary giving insight into the work of Nigerian performance artist Jelili Atiku. Indigenous practices are central to Atiku's work, as a counterpoint to colonialism and western modernity's disconnect from nature. Using the body as material, he makes a case for 'authenticity' as a starting point for meaningful engagement between self and other. Made for ZAM magazine x Afrovibes festival 2021 Performance "Mokóó Morò" by Jelili Atiku filmed in the streets of Amsterdam 18 Sep 2021. (Also freely available via Youtube, but nice to watch in conjunction with the other works.)

Afùwàpẹ́ (2020, 11 minutes)

"Afùwàpẹ́, who are you?" Sophie Olúwọlé asks. Afùwàpẹ́ finds himself dropped into a space out of context. To find his way he needs to connect with his inner head…
A unique opportunity to watch this work as it was never officially released. This "cinematic experiment" is part of the development of, and as a prologue to, a longer length film-to be on Sophie Bọ́sẹ̀dé Olúwọlé and the Ifá corpus.

Nanopolymersomes (2016, 7 minutes)

People have always been building things. We often marvel at the huge, and tallest constructions we achieved to make. But what about the tiniest of scales? Researcher Joep van der Weijden builds polymersomes on a nano scale. (Radboud Universiteit, Nijmegen).

Multiverse Ghana (2015, 59 minutes)

"Wisdom is not a property of any nation, everybody has it."This film is a creative exploration of science in Ghana. Guided by the music and stories of the famous Palm wine musician Koo Nimo, this film explores science in a myriad of forms, underlining a Multiverse of dimensions in one country alone. This atmospheric portrait of Ghana explores the role of culture and creativity in science. It questions attitudes towards developmental aid, and explores epistemic justice.
